A new colleague, charity status as a foundation, lots of interest in our materials, great feedback from the Clubs on the series on the prevention of sexual abuse, a wonderful team of local facilitators in place, ready to replicate Clubs in their areas…the result is a kind of breathlessness, an enormous sense of privilege, a feeling that the days are too short, that a lifetime won’t be enough for the task we have been given.

But of course, the key is that it is not our task. And in the words of Oscar Romero: We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God’s work. We lay foundations that will need further development far beyond our capabilities. We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that this enables us to so something, and to do it very well.
